Let you condolences to the task force, have you solved the case?

After the banquet, Su Mu and Xiao Yang left Jinghai City, boarded the police car specially approved by Li Donglai, and returned to Jiangbin City.

After this anti-drug operation, Su Mu has long been famous among the upper-level leaders of Jinghai City. They all know that there is such a capable person in Jiangbin City.

But at the grassroots level, because of the need for confidentiality work, not many people know the existence of Su Mu.

When Su Mu and Xiao Yang returned to Jiangbin Municipal Bureau to report the anti-drug case to Fang Haotian, they heard a shocking news——Luo Ping disappeared!

According to Fang Haotian's introduction, in the process of cracking down on drug dealers in Jinghai City, because the two cities are inextricably linked, Jiangbin City is also cleaning up the drug market in full swing.

Just the night before yesterday, Luo Ping led a team to arrest a big drug lord in Jiangbin City, but he escaped.

The people chased separately, and when they met at last, they found that not only the big drug lord hadn't been caught, but even Luo Ping had disappeared.

After they reported to the city bureau, the city bureau immediately sent people to investigate, and mobilized a large number of nearby residents to search for it, but Luo Ping and that big drug lord seemed to have evaporated from the world, neither alive nor dead!

For this matter, Fang Haotian and other city bureau leaders were extremely anxious. On the one hand, they had to explain to the superiors, and on the other hand, they had to find Luo Ping as soon as possible.

For two full days and two nights, Fang Haotian hardly rested, and his eyes were flushed red.

Seeing Su Mu and Xiao Yang coming back, he smiled wryly and said, "You should be allowed to rest, but this matter is related to the life of a comrade, so you should get over it and join the search and arrest operation!"

Chapter 239 Bizarre Disappearance

Su Mu and Luo Ping had a good personal relationship, so of course they would not just ignore his disappearance, they immediately agreed, and Xiao Yang naturally would not refuse.

Because Fang Haotian hadn't rested for two days, Xiao Yang stayed in the city bureau to assist him in command, while Su Mu went straight to the place where Luo Ping disappeared, Jiangbin Botanical Garden.

At this time, Zhao Qiang, who was in charge of criminal investigation, was in charge of the botanical garden. When Su Mu arrived, he found that Zhao Qiang and others were having a meeting in the duty room of the botanical garden to discuss the next action plan.

When they saw Su Mu coming, they all nodded.

After Su Mu sat down, he glanced around and found that the heads of all the brigades of the city bureau were there, even the head of the traffic police brigade came.

Everyone was frowning, especially Zhao Qiang, whose voice was hoarse, but when they saw Su Mu rushing over, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

The case of Luo Ping's disappearance has a lot to do with it. No matter whether it is public or private, no one dares to neglect it, but no one can find a good solution after racking their brains. Now Su Mu is their last hope.

"This is a summary of the case, and there are also the personal testimony of Shen Jiao and others. Su Suo, take a look. I hope you can find some clues."

After Zhao Qiang saw Su Mu sitting down, he pushed a pile of materials in front of him to Su Mu and asked him to participate in the research.

Su Mu nodded, and glanced at Shen Bugang. Shen Bugang's eyes were also blood red, obviously he didn't have a good rest these two days.

"Su Suo, you must solve the case successfully this time, otherwise I will be sorry to Lao Luo and his family." Shen Bugang said with a wry smile when he saw Su Mu look over.

"Don't worry, Teacher Shen, I will do my best!"

Su Mu comforted Shen Bu just a few words, then lowered his head and started flipping through the pile of documents, while Zhao Qiang and the others continued to discuss the case.

As he flipped through the materials, Su Mu's brows became more and more wrinkled.

According to the data, the escaped drug lord was called Ren Jiang, and Luo Ping and others were chasing him.

During the pursuit, Ren Jiang fled to the botanical garden, because they followed closely at that time, and everyone entered the botanical garden immediately.

There were many side roads in the botanical garden, and there was no time to discuss the pursuit plan at that time, and it was dark, so the police who were chasing almost all fought on their own.

As the crowd almost turned the botanical garden upside down, but did not find the slightest trace of Ren Jiang, when they met again at the gate of the botanical garden, they were shocked to find that Luo Ping was missing.

Shen Bugang became anxious immediately, and hurriedly divided his men into three groups, and entered the botanical garden to look for Luo Ping.

But the strange thing is that Luo Ping, like Ren Jiang, almost evaporated in the botanical garden, not seeing people alive or dead.

All the comrades who participated in the arrest provided their own testimonies, and they said the same thing, and they found nothing unusual when they were hunting.

After searching unsuccessfully, Shen Bugang had to call Fang Haotian of the Municipal Bureau and told him that Luo Ping was missing.

Fang Haotian was also taken aback when he heard about it, and personally led the city bureau brigade to the botanical garden to search, and almost all the police dogs of the police dog team were dispatched.

When the sky brightened the next morning, no one had found any trace of Luo Ping, and there were no suspicious traces or bloodstains in the entire botanical garden.

Not even the police dogs found anything unusual.

There is only one gate in the botanical garden, and it is surrounded by tall courtyard walls. It is almost impossible for a person to climb over the wall.

But to be on the safe side, Fang Haotian still mobilized the nearby people to expand the search area, but even so, the whereabouts of the two were not found.

This case is weird!

After Su Mu put down the materials, he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Su Mu had finished reading the documents, Zhao Qiang immediately asked, "Su Suo, did you find anything?"

Su Mu didn't answer, but instead asked Shen Bugang, "Where did Ren Jiang escape from?"

Shen Bugang said: "It's an urban area not far from the botanical garden. At that time, we received a tip that Ren Jiang was gambling with someone at home. We immediately went to block him, but let him jump off the building and run away."

"Luo Suo immediately took us all the way to chase, until Ren Jiang fled to this botanical garden, and then he and Luo Suo disappeared."

"At that time Luo Suo was at the front?" Su Mu asked again.

Shen Bugang nodded: "Well, Luo Suo ran first, tens of meters away from us. I saw him follow Ren Jiang into the botanical garden with my own eyes."

"Is there anyone on duty at the gate of the botanical garden that night?" Su Mu turned his head and asked the manager of the botanical garden.

The manager smiled wryly: "No one comes into the botanical garden at night, and there is no valuables in it, so although we have arranged people to be on duty, no one has ever followed the regulations."

Su Mu pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Although it is not far from the urban area to the botanical garden, there are several side roads in the middle, and the side roads are all small roads."

Zhao Qiang and others nodded. There are indeed several trails from the urban area to the botanical garden. When Fang Haotian expanded his search range, he also searched for these trails, but they didn't find them.

Su Mu said slowly again: "According to common sense, when fugitives flee, they usually choose remote roads to escape. Why did that Ren Jiang come to this botanical garden along the main road?"

He posed a question and didn't let everyone answer it. He flicked his finger on the table, and immediately asked himself and answered: "Unless Ren Jiang thinks of a way to get out of entering the botanical garden, otherwise, with his character of a drug lord, he will not be so stupid and enter a dead end!"

"What can Ren Jiang do to escape?" Su Mu asked another question.

Everyone shook their heads, the botanical garden was almost closed, and it was almost impossible to escape under the eyes of everyone.

What everyone thought of, Su Mu naturally thought of it too. He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is there a possibility that Ren Jiang didn't enter the botanical garden at all?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Bugang and several people immediately shook their heads, Shen Bugang said: "Impossible, I saw Luo Suo chasing Ren Jiang into the botanical garden with my own eyes."

"Oh?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Bugang and said, "Did you see Ren Jiang enter the botanical garden with your own eyes?"

Shen Bu was startled, thought for a while before shaking his head and said, "No, but Luo Suo must have seen it, otherwise he wouldn't have chased into the botanical garden."

Su Mu nodded: "The problem may lie here..."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Su Mu in surprise, and Zhao Qiang asked: "Luo Suo chased after him into the botanical garden, and Ren Jiang entered the botanical garden as a matter of course, did Luo Suo see it wrong?".

Su Mu shook his head: "Luo Suo is right, Ren Jiang may have really entered the gate of the botanical garden."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned. Ren Jiang entered the botanical garden gate, but didn't enter the botanical garden?How do you say that?

"It's very simple." Seeing everyone's doubts, Su Mu glanced at them with piercing eyes and said, "As long as Ren Jiang enters the gate of the botanical garden one minute earlier, he can completely pretend to be the security guard of the botanical garden. At that time, Luo Ping was eager to chase people, so he probably didn't expect this security guard." It's a counterfeit!"

After Su Mu finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, but they all shook their heads lightly.

"We didn't see the security guard after we went in. Besides, the difference between Ren Jiang and Luo Suo was only a few seconds. If he pretended to be a security guard, Luo Suo wouldn't have noticed?" Shen Bugang immediately asked suspiciously.

Everyone nodded when they heard it, thinking that Su Mu might have made a mistake in his analysis.

"This is where Ren Jiang is treacherous." Su Mu said more firmly.

Chapter 240 Fake Security

Seeing that everyone was full of doubts, Su Mu didn't explain immediately, but asked instead: "Luo Suo shouldn't have had direct contact with Ren Jiang, right?"

Shen Bugang and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then nodded. Shen Bugang said, "We only have a photo of Ren Jiang. When we rushed into his house, he jumped out of the window and ran away. There really was no direct contact."

"A photo?" Su Mu flicked his fingers on the table, "A photo is very different from a real person, and because it is night, the difference is even greater."

"But that person is indeed Ren Jiang. Afterwards, we interrogated the people who gambled with his house that night, and they all admitted that he was Ren Jiang." Shen Bugang said.

Su Mu said: "It's not that I don't believe that person is Ren Jiang. What I mean is that since Ren Jiang hasn't had direct contact with Luo Suo, it is very feasible for him to pretend to be a security guard."

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, he further elaborated: "Just now I said that Ren Jiang entered the botanical garden one minute earlier, and he could pretend to be a security guard to cross the sea. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't even take one minute."

"Let's assume that after Ren Jiang enters the botanical garden, based on the thinking of the people you are hunting, he will immediately sneak into the dark and hide."

Everyone nodded again, Shen Bugang said: "With Ren Jiang's cunning, he will indeed do this."

Su Mu said again: "Okay, then let's continue the analysis. Everyone should have discovered that there are thick bushes on both sides of the gate of the botanical garden. No matter which side Ren Jiang escapes from, as long as Luo Suo is a few seconds behind, he will not see other people. The direction of escape."

"But I can hear footsteps. Although I can't see anyone, Luo Suo can hear the sound of Ren Jiang's running footsteps, so he knows where he went."

Zhao Qiang immediately refuted Su Mu's words.

Su Mu nodded to Zhao Qiang: "The situation that Director Zhao said is not impossible, but it is contrary to the fact that they could not be found in the botanical garden later, that is to say, such a situation did not happen during Luo Suo's tracking at that time, otherwise it would not have happened. No trace of them in the Botanic Gardens."

Zhao Qiang and everyone thought that this is indeed the case. Unless the two can fly, as long as they enter the botanical garden and do not come out, they will definitely be found after searching for this period of time.

"Let's continue to assume that Luo Suo chased to the door and found that there were thick bushes on both sides of the botanical garden, and the sound of Ren Jiang's footsteps disappeared at this time, what should he do?"

"He can join the people who came later, and then divide into two groups to search." A policeman immediately stated Luo Ping's possible judgment at that time.

Su Mu said: "That's right, this is a way, but Luo Suo didn't meet up with the people behind, and chased them out by himself. The reason why he did this is obviously because he knew the direction of Ren Jiang's disappearance."

"So what happened at that time, let Luo Suo know the direction of Ren Jiang's escape?"

"It's impossible." Someone immediately raised an objection. "Without seeing anyone or hearing footsteps, how could Luo Suo determine the direction of Ren Jiang's escape?"

"This is where the unexpected happened. What would Luo Suo do if there was a security guard at the door of the duty room and told Luo Suo the direction of Ren Jiang's escape?"

At this time, everyone realized that Su Mu's hypothesis was finally pointing. Obviously, the security guard who suddenly appeared was Ren Jiang. He pretended to point Luo Suo in a direction, so that Luo Suo could chase him down.

"How could Luo Suo easily trust that Ren Jiang pretending to be a security guard?"

"In addition, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for Ren Jiang to take off his clothes and put on his security uniform again."

"And when Ren Jiang entered the duty room, there should also be footsteps."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

At this time, the manager of the botanical garden also said: "There is no security uniform in our duty room because there is no one on duty."

When everyone heard this, they all showed disappointed expressions. Without security uniforms, how could Ren Jiang hide it from Luo Ping? !

Originally, they still had a glimmer of hope for Su Mu. Although they kept raising objections, they also hoped that Su Mu could give a reasonable explanation, so that the point of view could stand.

As long as Su Mu's opinion is reasonable, the search and arrest work can come out of a dead end.

But now it seems that Su Mu's point of view is obviously untenable.

Facing the disappointment of the crowd, Su Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "There is no need for a security uniform, and Luo Suo might mistake Ren Jiang for a security guard."

"How do you say that?" Zhao Qiang and Shen Bugang looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Su Mu suspiciously.

Su Mu continued: "If I were Ren Jiang, knowing that Luo Zuo was chasing after him, it would be almost impossible to escape smoothly, I would definitely cheat him."

"And this trick is very simple. You just need to take off your coat and come out of the duty room in underwear, pretending to have just been woken up to see what happened. At this time, Luo Suo just arrived, and the 'security guards' came out of their civic duty to help a group of people. A policeman in police uniform gave directions to the fugitive to escape, and it all made sense."

"As for the sound of footsteps...Ren Jiang was able to avoid it carefully after entering the duty room."

"Luo Suo didn't know that there were no security guards in the duty room. When he saw Ren Jiang coming out of the duty room wearing only his underwear in winter, his first reaction was that Ren Jiang was the security guard."

"Of course our analysis is very rough now. The situation at that time may have been more complicated. Ren Jiang may have confused Luo Suo through facial expressions and other behaviors. In short, Luo Suo was fooled, so he followed Ren Jiang's direction."

After everyone listened to Su Mu's deduction, the entire meeting was silent.

Although Su Mu explained all the unreasonable parts of his deduction, but after all, there is no evidence, it is completely conjecture by the supervisor.

Su Mu didn't try to persuade everyone, but turned to the manager of the botanical garden and said, "I'll go and see the inside of the duty room."

The manager of the botanical garden pointed to a side entrance to the south of the venue and said, "This is the inside of the duty room."

Su Mu nodded, and found that the side door was open, he walked to the door but did not go in, but observed the side door for a while.

"Is this door usually closed?" Su Mu asked the manager of the botanical garden.

"It's closed, but not locked." The manager of the botanical garden replied honestly.

Su Mu asked Shen Bugang and the others again: "Which of you has been in this room?"

Everyone was startled, and several people immediately said that they had gone in.

Su Mu nodded, and walked into the room again, and found that the quilt on the bed was opened, and half of it was lifted, as if someone hadn't made it up after getting up.

"Did you notice when this quilt was opened?" Su Mu asked.

The few people who entered the room thought about it, and they all said that the bedding was like this when they entered the room for the first time.

But the manager of the botanical garden frowned, and hurriedly said: "Although this place is not on duty, the bedding is always folded in fear of surprise inspection by the superior during the day."
